The current betting odds have the Celtics listed as a 9 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Celtics have now lost 2 games in a row after their hot 5-0 start but they will be looking to bounce back in this game. They just lost on the road to the 76ers in their last game but now that they are back at home, they will be looking for another big win against a division opponent. The Nets have been alright this season with their 4-4 record overall and they have been really good in road games with their 3-1 road record. The Nets have also been really good all season with covering the spread since they haven't lost against the spread in their first 8 games. That is due to come to an end though and this is the perfect situation with the Celtics at home and looking to bounce back after their first 2 losses of the season. The Celtics also have some of the best defense in these first few games so look for the Celtics to bounce back at home and win this game by double digits in a get right spot for them. The best way to place a bet here is on the Celtics to cover the spread in this game.
